Examples of acute injuries that may cause a snap, pop, or grating sound or feeling include: 1  A broken hip (hip fracture) or pelvis (pelvic fracture), such as an avulsion fracture. 2  A dislocated hip or sprained hip. 3  Muscle strain in the groin or buttock.

The fracture may make the hip seem too weak to lift the leg. People usually have pain in the groin when they put weight on the hip.
